Head Kore 87 W

Sitting at the freeride end of the all-mountain scale is the truly epic new Kore 87 from Head. Having given last year’s Kore 93 our Women’s Freeride Ski of the Year award, we were super excited to see what her skinnier sibling could do.

With its reduced waist size and feathery weight, you might mistake this ski for an entry level freeride rig, but the Kore 87 retains a super-charged energy that requires a rider to drive through the turn and offers stokealicious rewards to those that do.

Cover the whole mountain, pop off drops, slice up the piste, truck through the crud, or slap a touring binding on her and head off into the backcountry – the Kore 87 comes screaming into this year’s all-mountain line-up with so much versatility it’s impossible to ignore.

The key to it all lies in the construction. Behind the subtle, simple and low-profile style lies a heap of clever tech that combines ultra-light yet strong graphene, with a honeycomb of flexy koroyd and a springy karuba wood core.

Amy was genuinely impressed: “the Kore 87 is the real all-mountain deal. An incredibly versatile and exciting ride, it’s ideal for skiers looking to invest in a rig that will help facilitate their freeride ambitions, while still maintaining a strong performance on the piste”.
